Abstract
A golf swing training aid (10), to be fitted between a player's knees, has an elongate, telescopic body (11), with foam pads (16, 18) on respetive cross-heads (17, 19) at each end of the body (11). A flexible strap (20) releasably secures one cross-head (17) to one of the player's knees and the other cross-head (17) rests against the other knee. The knees are held stable on the backswing and first half of the downswing of the club, but the aid (10) releases the knees as the swing is completed.
